How to Install and Use PlugmanX

Plugins are a great way to add new functions and features to your server. When experimenting with plugins, restarting the server frequently can make the process a

Fortunately, there is a plugin for almost everything, including managing other plugins. PlugmanX, a derivative of the original Plugman plugin, was created specifically to manage plugin files

Just like the original, it allows server administrators to disable and enable plugins as needed, check for updates, and verify which plugin creates or uses a specific command

Plugin Download:

1. Access the PlugmanX Spigot page.

2. In the upper right corner, press the blue "Download" button.

3. Save the file with a name like "plugmanx.jar" in a safe location for later use.

Server Installation:

1. Access the Holy Hosting Server Panel and stop the server.

2. Scroll down to the Game File section to verify the installed server version.

3. If necessary, change the version to something plugin-compatible, such as PaperMC or Spigot.

4. Click on the FTP File Access tab in the left menu and log in.

5. Click on the "plugins" folder to enter it.

6. Press "Upload" in the upper left menu and then drag and drop the .jar file.

7. Once it reaches 100%, return to the main page and restart the server.

Usage:

PlugmanX is a useful server management tool. The plugin's commands can be fully used from in-game chat or your server console without any configuration needed

Loading and Unloading Plugins:

When a Paper server starts, it checks the plugins folder for any plugins present. If the server finds any plugins, it will load them along with all other essential files

- Install the plugin as you normally would by placing it in the plugins folder, then run the "/plugman load [plugin]" command. Replace the "[plugin]" part with the name of the plugin you want

Checking Plugin Information:

Checking a plugin's information can be very useful for server administrators. While most plugin authors do their best to list any dependencies

Checking for Updates:

PlugmanX can check for available updates for your plugins through the "/plugman check [plugin]" command. This makes it easy to track which plugins are available for the latest version

Tab Complete:

A new feature of PlugmanX that was not in the original plugin is tab completion. Tab completion allows you to press the tab key when typing a command

Normally, you would have to restart the server when loading a new plugin to access tab completion, but PlugmanX can bypass that limitation.

Plugin Usage:

The "/plugman usage [plugin]" command can be the most useful one added by Plugman. This command will show all available commands for a plugin. This is great for some plugins like WorldGuard

Commands:

Here is a complete list of available commands for the plugin and some examples of how to use them.

- /plugman help - Shows a list of plugman commands.

- /plugman list - Lists all installed plugins on the server in order

Conclusion:

Plugman is a very useful tool that allows installing and troubleshooting plugins without restarting the server. This is great if you're running an event on your server and need to disable

Common Issues:

1. My plugins stopped working after running a command:

- Although Plugman is great for testing and basic troubleshooting, plugins were not designed to be turned off and on while a server is running. Some plugins,

2. None of my plugins work properly:

- The most common causes of this are that plugins were loaded in the wrong location or that the server is not running the correct version. Make sure your server is running Paper
